Although I agree that this is a problem, I would rather not see
/etc/network/interfaces's readability restricted. We could modify the
wireless-tools package to use a separate wep-keys file for storing WEP
keys and then remove read permission from that. Compare
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/waproamd/keys/ in the Debian ppp and
waproamd packages, respectively. This may require changes to the
installer and to any configuration tools that write WEP keys to /e/n/i.
